Here's a question: Is Sidney Poitier the last of the Golden Age movie stars. He began before Redford, who I don't think of as Golden Age.
by Anonymous | reply 57 | January 1, 2022 1:19 AM |
Poitier is not the last of the Golden Age movie stars, though he's one of the few left (along with Margaret O'Brien, Leslie Caron, Shirley MacLaine, Kim Novak, Sophia Loren, Gina Lollobrigida, Pat Boone, Harry Belafonte, and Joanne Woodward) who starred above the title before 1960.
Other lesser-known or lesser box-office stars back then who are older than Poitier:
Marsha Hunt, 104-first starred in Gentle Julia 1936
Micheline Presle, 99-first starred in Young Girls in Trouble 1939
Janis Paige, 99-first starred in Her Kind of Man 1946
Jimmy Lydon, 98-first starred in Back Door to Heaven(!) 1939
Glynis Johns, 98-first starred in The Halfway House 1944
Eva Marie Saint, 97-first starred in On the Waterfront 1954/That Certain Feeling 1956
June Lockhart, 96-first starred in She-Wolf of London 1946
Angela Lansbury, 96-first starred in The Private Affairs of Bel Ami, 1947
Barbara Rush, 94-first starred in When Worlds Collide, 1951
And those who starred in films before Poitier's first starring role in 1950:
Margaret O'Brien, 84-first starred in Journey for Margaret, 1942
Ann Blyth, 93-first starred in A Woman's Vengeance 1948
Terry Moore, 92-first starred in The Return of October, 1948
From the 50s, Carroll Baker, Patty McCormack, Don Murray, Shirley Jones, Russ Tamblyn, Joan Evans, Piper Laurie, Vera Miles, Robert Wagner, Joan Collins, Mamie Van Doren, Claire Bloom, James Darren, Mitzi Gaynor, Gena Rowlands, Marisa Pavan, Colleen Miller, Millie Perkins, Leslie Parrish, Julie Newmar, Debra Paget, Tina Louise, Joan O'Brien, Susan Kohner, and Angie Dickinson are still among us. Brigitte Bardot, Anouk Aimee, Petula Clark and Sylvia Syms also deserve mention as international stars since the 40s/50s.

"Prince had AIDS (regardless what anyone else says, he did) and Michael Jackson was frail."
Both of them had major drug problems which resulted in their premature deaths, not their delicate physical frailties. With the amount of drugs both of them were taking, they could have been healthy as horses and still killed themselves.
